Deirdre was blind, while Kyran was mute. Hence, superficial judgment wouldn’t work.Upon return, Deirdre suddenly asked Eilis, “Madame Russel, what does Kryan look like?”“Why?” Eilis was startled, as if her future daughter-in-law would be taken away. Following that, she sighed resignedly. “Well, I can’t stop you from being together with Kryan anyway. Although I’ll miss you, I can see that he’s truly good to you.”“No, I just feel that he’s like someone I know,” explained Deirdre. She hadn’t expected that Eilis would misunderstand her.“Someone you know?” Eilis was spreading the blanket on the bed and couldn’t get Deirdre’s meaning. “What do you mean? Why hasn’t he told you anything if he is someone you know?”“Perhaps it’s been so long that he’s forgotten. But I need to confirm whether he’s a local because I owe him something.”“Oh, I see.”Eilis had been seeing Deirdre as a good child all this while, so she didn’t think Deirdre would lie to her. She only thought Deirdre was me
“How could it turn out this way…”Eilis found it strange when she heard Deirdre. “Deirdre, did you misunderstand something? Don’t tell me that you thought Kryan was Brendan Brighthall? How is it possible? No matter how powerful Kryan is, he can’t be compared to Brendan Brighthall.“After all, as the CEO of the Brighthall Group in Neve, Brendan Brighthall has hundreds of companies under his control. How could such a man come to our remote village and stay for a long time just for a resort project?"Deirdre seemed to have lost all her energy. After hearing what Eilis said, she felt her speculation was ridiculous.‘Yes, if he were Brendan, he would have dragged me out of the village. How could he stay with me in the village?’She lifted a corner of her lips and agreed. “Yes, you’re right. It’s me who's been thinking too much.”“You are not only thinking too much, but you’re also looking for trouble yourself.” Eilis didn’t take it seriously. As if recalling something, she kept standi
“Apologize?” Deirdre thought she had misheard and was stupefied. “How come?”Eilis had the same doubt as well. “I was wondering the same. Given Mrs. Boebert's personality, would she be polite if she didn't come to make a scene? To think that she would come over to apologize? She also brought a bag of jujube. She wanted to say sorry to you personally, but I told her you were busy and sent her away.”Deirdre frowned heavily. “Did she say anything else?”“No. Let me ask later.” While putting the bag of jujube away, Eilis said, “Anyway, this it’s just in time for this item to be delivered. I’ll cook some jujube porridge for you today.”“Okay.”Deirdre nodded. Following that, she returned to her room, freshened up, and made the bed. When she finally left the room, Eilis had left—only the porridge was still cooking in the pot.Smelling the fragrance was already sweet, Deirdre carefully groped for the switch. As soon as she managed to turn off the fire, Eilis rushed over. “Deirdre, do y
Kyran’s pitch-black eyes were locked on Deirdre’s face. The tip of her nose reddened from the cold as she had walked all the way here.Perhaps it was because of her indifferent attitude yesterday, or perhaps it was because she had doubts about who Kyran really was that she could no longer smile defenselessly.Anyway, when she recollected herself, she heard a voice from Kyran's phone. “It's too cold out here. Let's go in.”Deirdre nodded and reached out to the wall.Kyran followed so that she could hold onto his sleeve. “Just follow me.”“Okay.”Deirdre lowered her head. They met many people on their way, such as the constructors, workers, and villagers.A few who were familiar with Kyran began to pull his leg. “Mr. Reed, you’ve got yourself a wifey, haven’t you?”“That’s why you always refuse when I try to introduce you to some girls. It turns out that you already have one.”“For the two of you walking one after the other, both of you look like a good match.”Embarrassed, Dei
Deirdre clearly knew that she wasn’t attractive enough.Taking a deep breath, Deirdre said, “Mr. Reed, can you remember yesterday when we had dinner together? I was sitting beside you when I picked up a pastry. You knocked that pastry out of the blue and took the whole plate away. M-May I know why you did that? C-Can you explain it?”Kyran fell silent and didn’t move.Deirdre frowned, feeling more uneasy. “M-Mr. Reed?”Finally, Kyran responded, “Must I say it out?”“Yes.” Deirdre bit her lip. She insisted on an answer because she had been tortured for a night just because of it.Kyran seemed to have sighed, but in her ears, the exhalation seemed a little heavier.Following that, he began to type.“Those pastries were leftovers.”Deirdre was shocked. “What?”Kyran continued. “I saw a waiter take that plate out of a room while cleaning up in another room. That plate later turned out to be placed before you. It was obvious that the hotel took the opportunity to send over the lef
Kyran stopped typing but grabbed Deirdre’s hand directly.His hand was very broad. Unlike that man’s chilly hands, Kyran's hand was very hot. It was so hot that the heat would burn the skin.Deirdre trembled unconsciously. She then felt that Kyran brought her hand toward himself little by little and gradually approached.She heard him roll up his shirt before slowly putting her palm on his chest.It happened to be the location where his heart was. When Deirdre felt the warmth and beating heart, she blushed and unconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.Kyran held her hand tighter, all the way down to the waist.Following that, Kyran released her hand and just dragged his shirt upwards. It seemed to be telling Deirdre that she could touch wherever she wished.Deirdre was blushing as red as a tomato.She warned herself repeatedly that this was only to verify Kyran's identity. But because she couldn't see it, everything—the man’s rhythmic breathing, the pleasant smell, and the tex
Kyran ignored Declan and turned his face to Deirdre, asking, “Are you done?”His chest was still left exposed to the air.Deirdre's ears were burning hot. Even though she couldn't see anything, she spun her head to the other side. "It's done." Kyran pulled his shirt down and buttoned it up again. After that, he typed and asked, "Did that friend of yours look a lot like me?"Deirdre was stunned for a moment, and the light in her eyes dimmed. “Yeah, but there’s still a slight difference between you and him.”“What kind of person is he?”‘What kind of person is he?’He was domineering, cold-blooded, and heartless. When Brendan's face appeared in Deirdre's mind, he would always look at her with a condescending and icy gaze.When she gave it a second thought, Kyran and Brendan were two completely different people. Something must have gone wrong in her head that she thought they were similar to each other.“I’ve forgotten about it.” The last thing Deirdre wanted was to recall anyth
Deirdre froze for a moment when Kyran did the same thing. However, she soon snapped herself back to reality by shaking her head. ‘Why am I thinking of him again? It isn’t that Brendan is the only man in this world who would do that.’The snow was getting heavier as they moved forward, and small piles of snow were on their shoulders. Deirdre did not know if it was because Kyran was holding her hand that she did not feel that cold.When they arrived at the door, Kyran stopped and typed on his phone, “We’re here.”Deirdre patted the snow on her body and said, “Thank you.” She went forward to open the gate, but Kyran kept standing still. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Mr. Reed, do you want to come in and have a cup of tea?”“Maybe next time,” Kyran quickly typed a few words on his phone. After that, he thought for a while and asked, “Didn't you ask me if I had something to say to you last night?“Yes, I indeed had something to say to you, but let's talk when we meet next t
